Hannah Gadsby shakes all the premises
GAYLES.TV.- «If you only have one hour to live, let it be to see Nanette","It's not a monologue, it's a tsunami","The humorist who wants to end humor","The monologue you have to see even if you do not usually see monologues«. Last weekend it was impossible not to succumb to the pressure of the networks: «Nanette«, The show of Hannah gadsbyIt had become essential. After Wild Wild Country, this is the last pitch of Netflix.
Gadsby she is an Australian comedian lesbian born on the island of Tasmania (the most homophobic community of Austrialia). The title of the show is a metaphor for what is going to happen. All the chips put to a bet (be it the name of a woman or a laughing show) and reality always finds other shortcuts to show itself. Feminism, tension, humor, power, connection, disease, internalized homophobia, discrimination, misogyny, reputation, pride, cubism, gender, patriarchy ... are the elements that weave his monologue and transport the viewer through uncomfortable territories.
Gadsby it is not easy or predictable. When he has already turned the script three times, he twists it once more to announce that he is leaving comedy. We have grown up with the heterosexual white male as a reference and the majority minority have become used to living on the sidelines and accepting the rules. «Donald Trump, Pablo Picasso, Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Woody Allen, Roman Polanski. These men are not exceptions, they are the rule. And they are not individuals, they are our stories. These men contolan our stories! and it seems we do not care as long as they can keep their precious reputation»Complaint Gadsby.
«Nanette»Is no longer a comic show to give way to the complaint and go directly to the white and straight male viewer to say«React once and for all! ». Gadsby she claims the strength of difference and being able to tell her story so that it is remembered and not feel so alone. She breaks with the established and dismembers herself. The viewer remains suspended, orphaned of a comfortable response. The surface, the topics, the predictable are enemies of his discourse. Knowing the ins and outs of humor, she is able to masterfully control the tempo of the show. He knows that behind every good joke, there is a great truth.
